“Ethical Markets applauds Jeff Sachs for his honest account of the massive market failure of the privatized global food trading and commodity markets. We have been researching all the obvious alternatives of supporting local farmers and organic agroecological regenerative agriculture, as well as expanding our global foods beyond their perilous reliance on the planet’s 3% of freshwater. Shifting investments toward plant-based foods and beverages nutritious saltwater crops (halophytes, e.g. quinoa, Salicornia, salt-tolerant rice) grown for centuries in 22 countries on unused, degraded land without fertilizers or pesticides, which also capture ambient CO2 in their deep roots nourishing soils, is described in our TV show playing at www.ethicalmarkets.com “Investing in Saltwater Agriculture“ with NASA Chief Scientist Dennis Bushnell and our “Transitioning to Science-Based Investing”, 2020. As Jeff Sachs says, the existing private markets have failed, so big changes are needed! Don’t miss this!
